The global biosecurity situation has become increasingly severe in recent years. The threats from outbreaks of epidemics, misuse and abuse of biotechnology, biological weapons and so on are emerging, which make biosecurity an important part of national security. Meanwhile, as a new interdisciplinary program, the education for biosecurity is still in its infancy. The challenges of domestic and international biosecurity and the quick development of biosecurity industry necessitate the establishment of security disciplines, which expose the deficiencies of talent pool in the interdisciplinary field involving biosecurity in China. Especially under the background of new engineering education, the importance of biosecurity training program has become more obvious than before. On the basis of our teaching experience, we systemically introduced the specific measures to improve the training system of biosecurity in the context of new engineering education, such as establishing an integrated curriculum system, constructing innovative teaching modes, exploring general education reform plans, and perfecting continuous improvement mechanisms.
近年来,全球生物安全形势日益严峻。疫情爆发、生物技术的不当使用和滥用、生物武器等带来的威胁不断涌现,这使得生物安全成为国家安全的重要组成部分。与此同时,作为一个新兴的交叉学科项目,生物安全教育仍处于起步阶段。国内外生物安全面临的挑战以及生物安全产业的快速发展,使得设立安全学科成为必要,这也暴露出我国生物安全相关交叉领域人才储备的不足。特别是在新工科教育背景下,生物安全培训项目的重要性比以往更加凸显。基于我们的教学经验,我们系统地介绍了在新工科教育背景下完善生物安全培训体系的具体措施,如建立一体化课程体系、构建创新教学模式、探索通识教育改革方案以及完善持续改进机制。
